Using long-term ranging patterns to assess within-group and between-group competition in wild mountain gorillas

BMC Ecology, 2020
Background Competition within and between social groups determines access to resources and can be inferred from space use parameters that reflect depletion of food resources and competitive abilities of groups.

Movement patterns and home range size of tigerfish (Hydrocynus vittatus) in the Incomati River system, South Africa

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2018
Historical data suggested that the tigerfish (Hydrocynus vittatus) of the Incomati River migrates upstream and downstream as part of their life history.

Factors affecting the home range size of felids (Mammalia, Carnivora) with emphasis on three American species

Ecología Austral, 2017
We evaluated several factors that might be related to the home-range size of felids at both inter and intraspecific levels. At the interspecific level, we tested the influence of body mass on home range size of 19 felid species, while controlling for ...

Spatial organisation of badgers (<em>Meles meles</em>) in a medium-density population in Luxembourg

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2010
<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br /> Any hypothesis aiming to explain the social organisation of Eurasian badgers <em>Meles meles</em> has to consider its wide inter-population variability.

Timing of Resource Availability Drives Divergent Social Systems and Home Range Dynamics in Ecologically Similar Tree Squirrels

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Intraspecific variation in home range size has important implications for the distribution of animals across landscapes and the spatial structuring of population, community, and ecosystem processes.

The Seabed Makes the Dolphins: Physiographic Features Shape the Size and Structure of the Bottlenose Dolphin Geographical Units

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a cosmopolitan delphinid, regularly present in the Mediterranean Sea. According to previous studies, this dolphin tends to form resident geographical units scattered on the continental shelf.

Toward an identification of resources influencing habitat use in a multi-specific context. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Interactions between animal behaviour and the environment are both shaping observed habitat use. Despite the importance of inter-specific interactions on the habitat use performed by individuals, most previous analyses have focused on case studies of ...

Home range and habitat use of reintroduced Javan Deer in Panaitan Island, Ujung Kulon National Park

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
The Javan deer which inhabit Panaitan Island (± 175 Km2) were reintroduced from Peucang Island (± 4.5 Km2) during 1978–1982 (3 males: 13 females). The information of home range and habitat use of these animals were needed for wildlife habitat management ...

First Capture of a Jaguar Using a Minimally Invasive Capture System for GPS Tracking in an Isolated Patch of Atlantic Forest in Southern Brazil

Animals, 2023
This study presents the first successful capture using GPS tagging of a jaguar (Panthera onca) using a minimally invasive capture system (MICS). We used snare-foot traps and a MICS during two capture campaigns in a fragment of Atlantic Forest in ...

The impacts of anthropogenic linear features on the space-use patterns of two sympatric ungulates

Movement Ecology
As human activity increases worldwide, many ecologists have focused on how anthropogenic linear features (ALFs) such as roads and fences impact and disrupt animal space-use behavior and how this disruption could potentially affect population viability ...
